I'm brand new too. I love it when I try a little project and it comes out good!

Thank you for you tutorial! Its is awesome and easy to follow. I'm new to sewing but you made this project non-intimidating. I surprised myself with the outcome.

It was an excellent video.

Great video! I am excited to try this bag! What stabilizer do you use?

Thank you. I kinda goofed by using a directional fabric. My tote has upside down kitty Kats on the backside lol It is still cute.

I’m new/beginner to sewing and I definitely want to try to make this. You make all the instructions easy to follow so thanks! Question tho. What type of fusible interfacing did you use? Featherweight? Heavyweight? Wonder Under? Lovee the patterns you chose on this one!

I love this video @HomeWithKimberly! Are you still doing videos?

How do you sew up the hole you pull everything through at the end? It’s right on top and seems like it would be noticeable.

Thank you for sharing. My first sewing project was this tote bag.

Awesome

I was looking for your shop. How much do you sell them for?

I'm new to sewing. What are the sizes of each piece? The lining is the same size as the main piece, but did you cut them? The zig zag material was cut to what size? Thanks!

What is the foam lining? Also what is the stabilizer you are using in the video?

I thought I was doing really well making this bag, but when it came to bagging out, I found my beautiful handles are on the inside between the lining and main fabric? What have I done wrong? Hopefully it can be rectified! Put all my blood sweat and tears into it. First time I have made a tote bag!

Hey thank you so much for sharing this! And Where did you get the fabric that you have your project laying on? I love that fabric. I’ve been trying to find some fabric to match my sewing and that would match up with it great. I have one more question, where did you get your labels?

This is a wonderful and seems pretty easy to follow tutorial. Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been looking for a few weeks for a literal fat quarter tote. Do you by chance have written instructions too?

I closed down my Etsy shop a while back. Had gone back to work and didn’t have the time.

What are the specifics of thr fusible interfacing you use in this tutorial? I would like to try this product but have never worked with interfacing and am finding there are many different kinds/weights.. Etc.

@homewithkimberly6648

You can really use any kind you want. I would suggest a foam interfacing for a sturdier purse. You can choose whatever you want and just follow the instructions on the particular material that you pick out.

I finally worked up the courage after 23 years of sewing to use interfacing because of this video. Thank you so much. I did notice the bag was a lot cleaner looking after I turned it inside out so next time I think I'll be putting the interfacing on the lining instead of the outer fabric. Thank you so much for this video.

Lynette Patrice yes!!!! 3 fat quarters

could have done without the music while you were talking...It was hard to tell what you were saying over the music. But great tutorial.

Hi there! Can you help me with the interfacing? I’m in the U.K. and not sure what to buy. Is this fusible fleece or a heavier weight interfacing? X

Hi Gillian! I know I had used a foam interfacing when I wanted a more chunkier, and sturdier bag. For the purposes of this video that I did, I do believe I used a fusible interfacing. I want to say it was a medium weight. I believe fusible interfacing comes in different weights, and I tend to like the thicker ones to give these bags more structure. Hope this helps.

I've made a ton of these from watching Jennifer on Shabby Fabrics. You do a much better tutorial. Jennifer can be hard to follow for new sewers. I can't find your Etsy shop. Your name yields no results. How much do you sell your bags for??? ❤️🇨🇦

Skip the music.

Music in background not necessary. Love the video though

This is fine I"m sure for someone who is not a true beginner like me. I cant find a tut anywhere that shows me how to lay out & cut a fat qtr for a tote or project bag....I guess it's assumed I know? Tfs

Enjoyed this tutorial after the obnoxious music stopped.

Why don't you put your camera on a tripod .

johanna unfortunately when filming this video I didn’t have one, but now I do.

I lost you really fast !!! You had your camera right on top of the material !!! I had no idea what you were doing !!! What went where !!!!

Thank you! I suggest not using the common music like you did in the beginning because I cannot hear what you are saying because the music is too loud. It was so loud that I almost click off your video automatically.
